"Phew..."

After the trouble was over, Zheng-Fu returned to his carriage and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This was because he could sense the gazes of several martial masters staring at him as he performed the Traceless Sword Skill.

"Are you all right, Young Master?" the elder asked worriedly after seeing Zheng-Fu let out a long sigh.

"I'm fine, Elder. Well, let's go to another place. I don't want to stay here anymore. If I stay, I'm afraid something bad will happen again!" Zheng-Fu shook his head to deny that he was fine before telling the elder to take him away from this place before more issues arose.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this, the elder immediately drove the carriage out of the parking yard. The next place he was going to take Zheng-Fu to was the ancient ruin that was 50,000 years old, or maybe older.

"Next is the last place, Young Master. It's an ancient ruin that's over fifty thousand years old, maybe even older. It's in the northern end of Heavenly Command City. It'll take us about two hours to get there. But if you don't want to go, you can tell me where you want to go in particular. I can guide and lead you along!"

Before the old man took Zheng-Fu to the next destination, he asked Zheng-Fu's opinion again, wondering if he wanted to visit the ancient ruin, which would take quite some time to reach. Therefore, the old man asked Zheng-Fu if there was another place he would like to go instead.

"It's all right. Since it's your intention, let's go to that ancient ruin!" Zheng-Fu still wanted to visit all the famous places as intended, so he told the Elder to take him further.

"Yes, sir!"

Yaah!!!

Two hours passed...

Zheng-Fu's carriage finally reached the ancient ruin. It was really located at the northernmost end of Heavenly Command Capital. Along the way, he saw many large mansions on the side of the road. According to the Elder's description, these mansions were inhabited by rich people, merchants, and wealthy mid-level clans. These people usually gathered in this northern region.

In addition to these middle and large mansions, there was also a large entrance gate that stood out the most in that area. It was the entrance of the Sacred Divine Thunder Fortress Clan. The Sacred Divine Thunder Fortress Clan was one of the nine-strong superpowered clans in the Heavenly Command Sect, famous for its defensive skills. Their skills were recognized as the strongest. It would be hard for anyone to destroy them if not for martial masters superior to those who used these defensive skills.

In addition to this clan, there was also one superpowered clan and two other great forces whose power and strength were comparable to the nine clans. That clan was the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan, where Bei-Chuan belonged. The other two forces were the Heavenly Storm Wolf Force and the Heavenly Forest Force. These two forces had a strong relationship with each other because the leaders of the two forces were sworn brothers. Moreover, their children got married, making the two of them like one family.

From seeing the founding grounds of these clans and forces, Zheng-Fu suddenly realized how great the power they were holding was. Because the area they constructed their dwelling on was three times wider than his mountain range, or perhaps even four times wider.

"Young Master, we have arrived at the fifty-thousand-year-old ancient ruin, sir!" The elder's voice signaled Zheng-Fu that they had reached their destination.

Actually, Zheng-Fu already knew that he had reached the destination, but he was only looking at this ancient ruin with interest. He could see this ancient ruin even before he arrived. After seeing it, Zheng-Fu felt strangely familiar, as if he had already been there.

After arriving at the destination, Zheng-Fu got off the carriage alone, while the elder would wait for him in the carriage.

This ancient ruin was visited by as many people as the Founding Ancestor Statue. But most of them were youths from five to twelve years old. They came here to study the history and legends of ancient structures that were several tens of thousands of years old and could be preserved and remain intact over time. However, various stories were told, according to the people who brought them here.

"This ancient ruin doesn't look exciting at all. I've been here four times already!"

"That's right. I don't know why our academy had to bring us here again and again?"

"Despite your four visits, you've never been able to answer Master's question. Coming often but not knowing anything about it is no different from not coming!" a little girl replied to the two boys who had spoken earlier. This little girl was beautiful and had good skin, even when she was so young. In the next ten years, she would definitely become a pretty young woman who could overthrow the city.

"Why do we need to know? Knowing it won't make us stronger!" the first boy said indifferently because he did not care about anything other than strengthening.

"That's right! You're just a bookworm who can't practice energy. What would a trash like you know about a cultivator's strength? Whenever you can be stronger than us, we'll obey, call you chief, and follow and believe you in everything. But that day will not come, ha ha ha!"

Ha, ha, ha!!!

The boys laughed a lot at the girl with fun because this little girl could not practice martial energy. Her body was too weak, so her energy level was only stuck at the initial Building Foundation stage. And these two boys were already at the advanced Building Foundation stage.

Tch!

When being bullied like that, the girl could only swear lightly in dissatisfaction before walking away from there to calm down. Even though she was only six years old, she knew a lot from being a bookworm.

"I can't practice energy, and so what!? Strength is not necessary at all. It will only create problems and hurt you. Knowledge is important; it can make money by selling information or by being drawn into a clan of powerful people and doing information work for them, both comfortably and safely. Much better than…"

Thump!!!

Ouch!

While the little girl was muttering, she suddenly bumped into someone in front of her. That caused her weak little body to fall, and she let out a cry of pain.

But before she could say or see what she had bumped into, a hand reached in front of her with a voice: "Are you all right, pretty little girl?" The owner of this hand and voice was Zheng-Fu.

"I'm fine. But Brother, why are you standing in my way?" the little girl immediately replied.

"If this brother hadn't stood in the way, I thought Little Sister would have fallen into this abyss. But if that was your intention, then I'm sorry!" Zheng-Fu explained why he had blocked the little girl's way. Since she had been walking and grumbling without looking, she almost fell into an abyss formed by a crack in the ground on the path ahead.

Ah!!!

When the girl heard Zheng-Fu's words, she tilted slightly to the left to see if there was really an abyss behind him. And when her gaze fell upon the huge slit, an expression of terror suddenly appeared.

"Tha… thank… Thank you, Brother, for saving me!" Once the girl understood that Zheng-Fu had saved her, she immediately thanked him.

"Never mind. By the way, what are you doing here alone? Why don't you join your friends?" Zheng-Fu asked, noticing that the little girl was wearing the same uniform as the other children nearby.

"That's because... because I know all about this ancient ruin. I don't want to go with them and listen to the same boring story over and over again. It's better to go for a walk alone and wait for the scheduled time to leave!" The girl initially answered the question with a displeased expression. But when she saw Zheng-Fu staring at her, she changed her expression as well as her answer.

"Oh... So that's how it is! Then what about this? Since you're tired of listening, would you like to switch to being the lecturer instead? I'm looking for someone to tell me about this ancient ruin. Hmm, or if you're busy, that's fine. I won't bother a little angel like you!" Zheng-Fu saw that the girl was really bored. And she probably had other reasons that made her not want to go with her friends. Zheng-Fu suggested she be his guide and explain the ancient ruin to him.

"Not at all, Brother! You can trust me. I know everything about this place. I even know more than the tour guides here!" The little girl's eyes flashed with joy. She never imagined that she would be asked to guide a tour and narrate.

"Great! Then let's go. By the way, Little Angel, where do we start!?" Seeing the little girl smiling happily, Zheng-Fu felt delighted.

After Zheng-Fu settled his agreement with the little girl, she led him to start from the first point, which was the large entrance. This gate was made from more than ten-thousand-year-old wood that was extremely durable. This type of wood was called red pine.

From the entrance gate, the girl led Zheng-Fu to a statue about ten meters tall that was about twenty meters from the gate. It was a statue of a long-bearded elder. It was said that this elder owned this ancient ruin. Some said he was a protector, while others claimed he was the founder. But the little girl described that this elder was just an ordinary person, not related to this place at all because this statue had just been built less than ten thousand years ago, while this ancient ruin was over fifty thousand years old. Then how could a statue that was less than ten thousand years old have existed from the beginning of this place?

"So, Little Angel, are you going to tell me that this statue was built later?" Zheng-Fu understood her meaning well.

Shhh!!!

"Lower your voice, Brother. This kind of thing cannot be said aloud. If someone else hears it or the people who created it hear it, we might get into trouble. From what I've analyzed and examined, this statue should have been added to make this place look more interesting for people to come here and study it!" The little girl hurriedly lifted her finger to her mouth and blew air out to signal Zheng-Fu to lower his voice before continuing to explain according to her thoughts.
